What happens when they play Chelsea? Everton release blue and yellow away strip

Everton have unveiled their striking new yellow-and-blue away strip for the forthcoming Premier League season but it could cause a clash when they play Chelsea.

The kit will be available to purchase from Thursday August 22, but there are many similarities with their home kit.

As well as the dominance of Everton's traditional royal blue, the new away strip, much like the home kit, is made from recycled polyester in accordance with Nike’s commitment to produce athletic wear with a low environmental impact.

Everton are currently playing in the Guinness International Champions Cup in Miami as part of their pre-season campaign.

The lower part of the away shirt is
sunshine yellow with the shoulders and neck blue. The kit also
features blue shorts and yellow socks.

The shirt and shorts of each kit are made from up to 13 recycled plastic water bottles.

Everton begin their Premier League campaign at Norwich on Saturday August 17, where they will be playing in their home strip.

Their first outing in the away kit could come at either West Ham on September 21 or Manchester City on October 5.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY PLAY CHELSEA?

Everton's visit to Chelsea could cause a kit clash.

Both teams play in blue so Everton
will be forced to wear their away kit, as is usual for their trip to Stamford Bridge.

However, the shorts on Chelsea's
home kit are blue, which means Everton will have to change. They are yet to release a third kit for the coming season, but one option
for Roberto Martinez's side is to wear the white shorts from their home
strip.

During the 2008-09 season, for example, Liverpool played in an all grey away
kit. When they visited Arsenal, though, they wore the red shorts and
socks from their home strip, as seen in the picture below, to avoid a clash with Arsenal's white shorts and socks.
